Veterans and Officers of the “Rockland Homes For Heroes” Carl Dornbush, Tom Micelli and John Allen Murphy are seen here accepting a check from W∴Bob Kolb and R∴W∴Murry Cohen of Stony Point Wawayanda Lodge 313 “Guild” for $1000.00.

Rockland Homes For Heroes is a not for profit 501c3 charity dedicated to building and operating housing for homeless veterans.

On December 21, 2016 SPW #313 held a years of service award night. It was an amazing night with over 30+ people present to share in the festivities. We had a total of 16 people getting awards and 10 brothers came to collect them. Although ever award was special the 2, 50 year members was the most special. The dedication and commitment these brothers have giving over 50 years is simply amazing. I only hope I can follow in their footsteps and give 50+ years of good service to such a wonderful craft. Thank you to all the brothers, District Deputy and guest who attended.

I am sending this communication to inform all our members of the business that will be
discussed at our December 7th meeting. A few Brothers would like to make a presentation
revolving around the rodeo. Once the presentation is done a civil discussion will follow. After
the discussion the lodge will close and the Secretary and I will put together a brief summary
which we will then mail out, informing all the brothers of the outcome of the meeting. This
should provide ample time for our brothers to think over the presentation before our
December 21st meeting. I will then read the summary during our Dec. 21st meeting. There will
be no further discussion. If a motion is called then a vote will take place. If the vote turns out to
be a NO, it will not be brought up again while I am Master.
